ALONG 4 DUTCH CANAL

70 follow out the line of canal is to
see continuous picture-now it is q
blue ribbon through the green of the
fields, again a small village is passed,
the brown hulls and queer sails of the
canal-boats are continually composing,
and at its close you glide into o sleepy
old town, every inch of which is an ar
tistic treasure. deepened and harmon
lied, as are all its colors, by the hui
Nudity of the atmosphere. With the
exception that they are broader, the
rivers present similar picturesque
qualities to the canals-the same low
lying banks, fringed with willows, the
same boats; indeed, one mouth of the
Rhine is but canal in Holland. Near
the sea, on some of the more important
rivers, singularly beautiful effect is
produced by the large cities upon
them, with shipping lying at their
quays, and the broad, mirror-like sur
face Of the water rejecting and doub-
ling all the beauties of color present.
How blue is this water, repeating the
cloud-forms in the skies, thrown into
prominence by the vivid green on the
banks and the reds and browns of the
cities i'll the background! iceland,
surrounded by large rivers which seek
the sea through it in myriads of canal
and bitches, gives II peculiarly Dutch
landscape-the roads, banked up,
crossing the streams by bridges whose
arch, high enough to permit the pass
age of canal boat, often frames the
most charming bits; windmill; few
old houses irregular in line, the brown
yellow Of their roof-tiles and bricks en-
HANGED by the glad blue of the sky and
sunlight-green of the fields. Suppose
this bridge to be ivory whitewash, and
in the foreground brown canal-boat,
its stern decorated with splashes Of
"Prussian blue" Holland
has ever produced and attracted land
scape- painters; and it is matter for
surprise that the mere seeker for sur
face beauty will paint anywhere else.

THE DIET OF STROyG Wrx

The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight
OF armor and luggage that would
crush the average farm hand, lived on
coarse brown bread and sour wine.
They were temperate in diet and reg
ular and constant in exercise. The
Spanish peasant works every day and
dances half the night, yet eats only
his black bread, onion and watermel-
on. The Smyrna porter eats only a
little fruit and some olives, vet he
walks off with his load of 100 pounds.
The coolie is more active and can en-
dure more than the negro fed on fat
meat. The heavy work of the world
is not done by men who eat the great
est quantity. Moderation in diet
seems to be the prerequisite of endur-
ance.-Scientifc american.

MANS CRADLE.

The old question returns, Can we
not discover the cradle Of our race? l
say, decidedly we cannot. We may
guess, with more or less probability,
but if our guesses are to be submitted
tbthe tests of mathematical certainty,
not one of them will stand the test.
This ought to be understood; and is,
in fact, understood among most scholars.
Many opinions held with regard to
periods Of history which are beyond the
reach of historical evidence can never
be more than possible or plausible. 10
demand for them different character
does not show any critical sagacity, but
rather ignorance Of the limits of our
knowledge. Thus, when we see the
Celts driven to the western parts of
Europe, pushed forward by Teutonie
tribes and these again pressed hard by
Slavonic neighbors, we naturally con-
clude that the Celts were the first to
arrive in Europe, the Germans the
second, the Slaves the third. But
there is no mathematical certainty for
this. 1t is nothing but the result of an
historic combination and can never be
more. Again, if we see Hellenic civil
ization extending from Asia Minor to
Greece, and from Greece to Italy, and
if we find the Italians pressed by sue
cessive inroads from the north, We are
inclined here. too, to admit progress
of Aryan speech and thought from the
east to the west, and from the north to
the south. If, on the contrary, we con-
slider that the Aryan conquerors of
India come clearly from the north
along the rivers of the Punjab, while
before that time they must have dwelt
for certain period together with the
people who spoke ancient Persian, and,
before that time again, with people
Who became the founders of the first
Furopean dialects, we find it difficult
IN resist the conviction that some half
wov point from which the Northwest
em and Southeastern tribes could have
diyerged may mark the original home
Of the Aryans. Good Words.
